Concentrations of metronidazole and tinidazole in male genital tissues

Abstract: The steady-state concentrations of metronidazole and tinidazole in male genital tissues were analyzed in patients subjected to elective gonadal surgery. The nitroimidazoles were administered orally at 500 mg every 8 h, beginning 5 days before the operation. Eight hours after the last dose, the concentrations of tinidazole were 24.1 +/- 2.5 micrograms (mean +/- standard error of the mean)/g of prostatic tissue, 29.1 +/- 2.9 micrograms/g of vas deferens, 22.1 +/- 2.1 micrograms/g of epididymis, and 18.6 +/- 2.3 … Show more

“…The results obtained were compatible with the results after a single oral dose, and provide evidence that tinidazole penetrates to a considerable extent from the blood-stream into the inflammatory exudate. Other studies have also revealed high concentrations of this agent in certain other tissues [19][20][21]. The results of the present investigations provide the pharmacokinetic basis for the proven efficacy of tinidazole in the treatment of protozoal and anaerobic infections.…”

“…Tinidazole has a half-life of ∼12.5 h, compared with a half-life of 7.3 h for metronidazole [27]. In addition, serum and genitourinary tract levels of tinidazole have been reported to be 1.4-to 2-fold higher than those of metronidazole [28,29].…”

“…Несмотря на то что однократный прием 2,0 г метронидазола назван схемой выбора в Европейских рекомендациях IUSTI/ВОЗ, клиниче-ская эффективность такой схемы составляет 86-94% по сравнению со схемой 400-500 мг перораль-но 2 раза в сутки в течение 7 дней (эффективность составляет 92-97%) или однократным приемом ти-нидазола 2,0 г внутрь однократно (эффективность 95-100%) [50]. Было показано, что тинидазол в уре-тре у мужчин накапливается в более высокой кон-центрации [51].…”
